چکیده
The neutral B mesons, B and B s , can oscillate between their particle and antiparticle states owing to flavor-changing weak interactions. In recent years, techniques to detect these oscillations as a function of the meson’s decay time have been developed. In this article the physics of flavor oscillations is reviewed and theoretical predictions are summarized. The many observations that demonstrate the time-dependence of B − B0 oscillations are presented along with a combined measurement of its frequency, ∆md = 0.484 ± 0.015 ps . The attempts to measure the B s oscillation frequency, both directly and indirectly, are then summarized, currently resulting in a limit of ∆ms > 14.6 ps −1 (95% CL). Finally, values for the CKM elements |Vtd| = (3.6± 0.4) × 10 −3 and |Vts/Vtd| > 4.7 (95% CL) are extracted.

We discuss a simple cosmological model derived from M-theory. Three assumptions lead naturally to a pre-big bang scenario: (a) 11-dimensional supergravity describes the low-energy world; (b) non-gravitational fields live on a three-dimensional brane; and (c) asymptotically past triviality.

We investigate η-η ′ mixing in infrared regularized U (3) chiral perturbation theory by calculating the η and η ′ masses up to one-loop order. From this analysis it becomes obvious that even at leading order η-η ′ mixing does not obey the usually assumed one-mixing angle scheme if large N c counting rules are not employed.
